when i purchased my gtr, the owners brother(owner wasnt there, everything was legit, so all good), handed my os giken twin plate(needed rebuild).

looked underneth, had tien coilovers.

trust 4inch cooler.

tuned y pipe, 3inch cat and cat back.

those were the parts i didnt know of.

did you check and see how good the ah 'mines ecu' under the back seat was, or did you just throw it out?

Tossed it ,it was not in very good condition,i think it had been there a while.

Edited by I gotta R34gtr v-spec

I bought my 34 a long time ago.. About 2 years after i bought it i went to install red bulbs behind my dash. I took the dash apart then went reaching in behind there and found some wires that seemed a bit "out of place".. So i looked up under there and followed the wires back and found a Greddy full auto turbo timer sitting in there!? hidden amongst all the other wires. All i had to do was turn it back on and mount it and boom. Free turbo timer. :D Also found a Japanese jdm game token coin like thing under my seat..

Found a 1979 20cent piece behind the roof vinyl interior of my 1981 Stanza. So I can only assume the coin was lost there while the car was on the assembly line. Still have the coin somewhere....

Found yellow jackets tucked down the left side of my r32's boot still in there packets! (Hopefully will fit my rb20) :)

Was looking at buying rear hicas lock bar.. Had a look underneath and already had one :)

Nismo front strut bar with Nismo stamped into it (hopefully genuine.. Not sure if those are even rare..

And last but not least about $18 worth of shrappaz!

In my 33 i Found split fires, dodgy wiring in the tail lights, really old jdm gaff tape in the doors, wierd wires all through the car, a USB with the guys birth certificate license and all his tickets, jdm coins, aus coins $14 worth, Japanese rego sticker

And the classic dried up maccas chip

4 children's nursery rhyme CDs behind the dash, played that shit all day!

Shell battery from Japan? You can't buy them here.

Shell service stickers all over and in the car from Japan.

On my gf car I found a threaded head with the spark plug sitting on top and some more threaded bolts on the thermostat housing. It was a fluke it even ran.

found tanabe GF210 on my stock springs heh i knew them orange springs were weird! also found the lock nut key from previous owner's set of nuts, which he had the tyre guys smash off, thus running only 4 nuts (until i bought a new set of nuts). what a nub. it was in the compartment which had the spare tyre jack in it, i noticed something rolling around inside.

    • For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!
    • Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum 
    • The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding 
    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
    • Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
